Halloween Time

Another great decoration inspired byPinterest. First I cut out a template of the letters on my Pazzles Inspiration and traced it on thin wood (well my neighbor did) and he cut it out for me. I didn't have any chipboard but I'm sure the inspiration can handle it if you wanted to go that rout, mines going outside so I went with wood. Then I painted all the letters black added some purple and green paint here and there. Then I cut the letters out again on my Inspiration out of DCWV Halloween paper and cut some of them in half and some in thirds, inked the edges and glued them on in different places. I then took a run to Michaels and the dollar store while everything dried for ribbon and little Halloween things to decorate with. I attached the letters together with ribbon and a staple gun, if you use chipboard you will need to attach the ribbon another way.

It looks so cute on my front door. Thanks to Blaine for cutting the letters and thanks to Erika for doing the project with me its always more fun to craft with friends.

About Me

I live in sunny central California, I've been married to my hubbie John for 30 years now and we have 3 awesome boys, Christopher (married to Brynn)Bryan (married to Anita) and Kevin (too young to be married)one grandson Colin and one grandaughter Mavis.
I am a domestic goddess and have been very lucky to be able to stay home with my children thanks to the hard working man I'm married to. Taking care of my family is my #1 priority.
I am a crafter I get it from my mom (miss you mom)and like to spend a good part of my time in my craftroom. With two of my three children grown and moved out I find alot of time to craft.
My favorite color is purple, purple and more purple
I love to garagesale another thing i got from mom, I'm always looking for the great deal and have tought my boys the fine art of bartering.
So this is just a little about me.
